1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: are rolling through what I would call the Unity edition 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: of the Republican Convention. Tomorrow, Trump will speak, But last 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: night many of you said it wouldn't happen. 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: Candidly, I have not. I don't think Buck has either. 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: When we said, hey, we know it's kind of nasty 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: right now, we understand if you are a Nicky Haley 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: supporter or you are Ron DeSantis supporter, there are raw feelings. 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: I believe we got this one right, and we got 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: to the convention, everybody would be coming together, and I 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: think this is the strongest unity that the Republican Party 13 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: has seen in the Trump era by far. Twenty six 14 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: everybody remembers Ted Cruz, who spoke last night, did not 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: officially endorse Trump after that nasty primary battle. 16 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: And when I was covering that RNC, I said Ted 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: will eventually and should. 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: Have, and I think now he would agree with that. 19 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: And twenty twenty obviously not really a traditional convention. It 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: was a complete mess because of everything associated with COVID. 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: But last night, I want to play this audio. 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: Curious we don't have a lot of time to take 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: calls today because let me just tell you, oh boy, 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the rundown. We are in radio 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: row in Milwaukee.

That story from him, 37 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: I would imagine will be very compelling. Senator Bill Haggerty 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. David Sachs, who is the basic one of 39 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: the PayPal Mafia members, really good buddies with Elon Musk 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: Twitter X, announcing amid all the other news that they 41 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: are leaving California and moving to Texas.

But the 52 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: DeSantis and Nicki Haley people who many of whom understandably 53 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: we think Ron DeSantis best governor in the country. Nicki 54 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Haley obviously a lot of people trying to do whatever 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: they thought was necessary to beat Biden. I want to 56 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: play you the full throated endorsement of each of those individuals. 57 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: So hopefully all of you that are super active online 58 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: and arguing. 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go vote, I'm not gonna show. 60 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: Up, I hope that all of you have given up 61 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: on those emotional screams into the void that feels like 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: many of you embraced on social media for a while. 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: Let's start just some, just some. It was a handful, 64 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: but they were a loud voice. 65 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: They were very loud on and they were whining all 66 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: the time. We even took some calls. Do you remember 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: from people who said I refused. I would wonder if 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: any of those people still exist. I hope that they 69 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: do not, but it certainly doesn't exist in the Republican 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: Party itself. Let's first listen to Nicky Hayley give her 71 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: complete and total endorsement to Donald Trump last night. 72 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: Here's what it sounded like. 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 4: I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear, Donald Trump 74 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 4: has my strong endorsement period. 75 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Well. 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: Look, we've seen a move toward unity behind Trump that 77 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: even exceeded what we had seen from multiple sham indictments 78 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: used as the law fair campaign against Trump because of 79 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: the assassination attempt, because I think it has made it 80 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: so clear to everybody the stakes right now. Also, just 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: I think you have to take into account the sense 82 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 3: of the divine of the miracle that Trump walked away 83 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: basically fine, not without a scratch, but just with a scratch. 84 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: This is Trump's party. 85 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no there's no voice within the Republican Party 86 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 3: that has the support of any considerable contingent of fellow 87 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: Republicans that is not all. 88 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: In behind Donald Trump right now, and you. 89 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: Really couldn't wish for anything better politically at a national convention. 90 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: So even the New York Times is one of the 91 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: headline was at the convention GOP transformation from dysfunctional to unified. 92 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: Now we can argue whether it was ever dysfunctional, but 93 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: the point is there are a lot of there's a 94 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 3: lot of regime media here. Yes, you know, I had 95 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: some French dudes coming up from me yesterday from Frank. 96 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: They're like, during the show, I was trying to interview, 97 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: interview the. 98 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 3: Most fantastic American we've ever seen, would you like to 99 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: explain all of zippolitics to us? And I was like, 100 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: Monsieur Francois, give me a minute, and of course. 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 2: Do the interview with French media. Oh yeah, the guys 102 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: try to interview. 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you could hear it, tried to 104 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: interview your bar show while we're on the air. 105 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: He was just like trying to walk right up on 106 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: the stand. Probably wi He had like a little beret 107 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: and a baget. 108 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. They never beret. But we've there's a 109 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 3: lot of media from all over the world here, and 110 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: there are a lot of regime media. There's Reuter's Ap 111 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: New York Times seeing in everybody right yep. Point is 112 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: nobody who is here would make the case that this 113 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 3: isn't an incredibly unified GOP. And I would argue even 114 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: those for whom it is painful to say it. Clay 115 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 3: admit that right now the GOP with the Nikki Haley 116 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 3: endorsement of Trump, we're about to get the Rod DeSantis 117 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: endorsement of Trump. I don't know if there's ever been 118 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: a more unified GOP. You would have to go back 119 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: to Post nine to eleven Bush era oh four, I 120 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 3: think you would. I think you'd have to go back 121 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: to and and even then with the Iraq War GUS 122 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: as it was, there was already this anti war stuff 123 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: going on. So I actually think this is the most 124 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: unified GOP in living. 125 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: Okay, So I think we should also give credit to 126 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: the Trump team, which has also done a good job 127 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: of reaching out to all of these individuals giving him 128 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: speak Sean. Remember, because there was talk, oh, Nicki Haley's 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: not going to be there, Ron de Santis not going 130 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: to be there. Well, last night they were there. We 131 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: just played Nicki Haley's full endorsement. Here's Florida Governor Ron 132 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: De Santis last night saying, I'm all in on Trump. 133 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 5: I am alarmed that the current president of the United 134 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 5: States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office. 135 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 5: Our enemies do not confine their designs to between ten 136 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 5: am and four pm. 137 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: We need we need a commander in chief who can lead. 138 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: Twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. 139 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 5: America cannot afford four more years of a weekend at 140 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 5: Bernie's presidency. 141 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Weekendeded Bernie's presidency, by the way, Bernie's too. But that 142 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: is something that analogy is something we've used on this 143 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: show for some time. I've seen it echoing all over 144 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: the internet from that speech, as Trump enjoyed that reference, 145 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: as he probably remembers well the nineteen eighties era of 146 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: that film. 147 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: Fantas for Nicki. 148 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Haley, for everyone in the Trump campaign that they have 149 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: brought that entire group together. 150 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: Yes, and so we. 151 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 3: Told you this would happen. It did happen, and so 152 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: no one owes us stakes per se. But I'm just 153 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: saying this is one that we got right because it's 154 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: and it is not only that, it is more importantly 155 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 3: the right thing for the GOP. Right now, we have 156 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: Congressman Anna Polina Luna with us, so we're going to 157 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: come back in just a moment talk to her about 158 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: all the goings on here at the r NC and 159 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: much more. Here's just a little teaser where we're going 160 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: to go with that conversation. A lot of noise from 161 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: You got to imagine very connected people on the hill here, 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 3: the most connected, probably the most connected people you could 163 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: get on Capitol Hill are here, certainly from the Republican side, 164 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: and they have a lot of similar sentiments about Democrats 165 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: moving their funding and their game all in on the 166 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: House because they think that the Biden that's right reelection 167 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: effort is now Biden is becoming the toxic part of 168 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: a company that the company will spin off and allow 169 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: to go into bankruptcy and they'll try to salvage other assets. 170 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: That's what it is looking like right now, based on 171 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: not just Republican sense, but the Democrats on the hill. 172 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: So we'll ask Congressman and a point a little bit 173 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: about that in just a second.

How does it feel be 218 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: a few days into this and to be one of 219 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: the most noteworthy new members of Congress by the way, congratulations. 220 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. 221 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 8: You know, I think it's telling and pretty interesting that 222 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 8: I'm being asked to speak and I'm a freshman member 223 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 8: of Congress. I think I obviously am more of a 224 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 8: populous official. I definitely think that the message and really 225 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 8: the shift that I've seen within the party even just 226 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 8: happened over the last year and a half, It's been 227 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 8: pretty incredible to witness, not just from a member of perspective, 228 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 8: but from a historical perspective. And I really think with 229 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 8: the events that transpired on Saturday, moving forward, I mean 230 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 8: President Trump, So we were with him last night in 231 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 8: his presidential blox at the RNC watching everything. But you know, 232 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 8: he is very much so involved. You'd figure, you know, 233 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 8: he'd have staff do this. No, he is very much 234 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 8: so involved with every single aspect of this, to include 235 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 8: the messaging. And so when you're seeing every single day 236 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 8: we have a concise tailored message on what that topic is. 237 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 8: You know, I'm speaking tonight, We're going to be talking 238 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 8: on national security and the military, and so I'm pretty excited. 239 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: Where were you on Saturday when the assassination attempt happened 240 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: And what was that experience like for you? 241 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I was putting my baby down, and so when 242 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 8: I you have an almost one year old, Yes, so 243 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 8: I was putting him down. I was feeding him, and 244 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 8: I put my phone on do not disturb. And so 245 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 8: the only person that can bypass that is my husband, 246 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 8: which is ironic because in twenty fourteen, my husband was 247 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 8: shot in Afghanistan and he called me to tell me 248 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 8: that he had been shot, and this time he called 249 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 8: me to tell me that the president had been shot, 250 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 8: both of which it had like brought me back to 251 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 8: I'm like, like, is he okay? And then immediately I 252 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 8: called actually Caroline Lovet and I said, what are you hearing? 253 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 8: And she goes, he's in the hospital. He's gonna be 254 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 8: making a statement, So just sit tight. And so when 255 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 8: you hear that happen the minute, and I think it 256 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 8: was really important because he knew and that it's you know, 257 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 8: anyone probably would have cowered, and his active defiance getting 258 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 8: up that's when you really see what someone's made of. 259 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't get criticized him by the way, if 260 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: he if he had crawled on all fours, get off 261 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: that stage. 262 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: There's no shame in that. Sha. 263 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 8: He got that in defiance and just like courage and 264 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 8: just said fight, fight, fight. But then also too, you 265 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 8: knew he was okay, and he's sending a signal to 266 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 8: his supporters that he was okay. So it was pretty incredible. 267 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: You have had a crazy life change. You became a 268 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: congresswoman from a super competitive district. I'm curious what you're 269 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: seeing on the ground in Florida where you won. You 270 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: also became a mom. What was more earth shattering becoming 271 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: a mom or becoming a congresswoman? 272 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: What changed your life more? 273 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 8: Probably a mom because it rewires your brain chemically. But 274 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 8: what I will say is that even just winning my election, 275 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 8: I was that spent twelve million dollars to one in 276 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 8: my general election. I'm in a very very Republican district now, 277 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 8: so we have a lot of people that have moved 278 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 8: from New York that are just like, we're done, You're welcome, Yes, yes, 279 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 8: district thoughted and loaded. Now we're locked and loaded metaphorically speaking, yeah, yeah, And. 280 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 3: What do you think about the Democrat strategy that seems 281 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: to be emerging. You know, we were talking to all 282 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 3: these Hill staffers last night here. That's the fun thing. 283 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: You get to see everybody and. 284 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: See the Hill tea. 285 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: It turns out, well, yeah, it turns out a lot 286 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: of Sentence staffers and a lot of Hill staffers. 287 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: Play listen to this show every day, which makes me 288 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: very appreciate. 289 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 8: That I might get in trouble then what I say. 290 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: But they're all pretty much aligned in thinking that right 291 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: now the Democrat Party, their whole strategy is going to 292 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: shift from anything to get Biden over the finish line 293 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: to we just have to get the House to try 294 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: to throw a wrench into the Trump agenda. 295 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: Correct. Basically, they know this thing's over. 296 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, they know that's he's not gonna win. 297 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: I've talked him many members. 298 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 8: I've also talked to never Biden members of the Democrat Party, 299 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 8: and so they know that it's over. I think Biden administration, 300 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 8: for what I'm hearing, also knows that it's over. They 301 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 8: did are they are trying to do something via an 302 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 8: executive order to actually treat Ukraine like a NATO member, 303 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 8: to actually prevent President Trump from actually being able to 304 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 8: do anything in that regards. But I am also hearing that, 305 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 8: and I don't know if it's a correct headline. I 306 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 8: have to verify, but I heard that Ukraine and Russia 307 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 8: are potentially in peace talks now, so we'll see what 308 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 8: ends up happening with that it and have to fact 309 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 8: check that. But you know, what I'm also seeing is 310 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 8: that I do think that they are trying to then 311 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 8: target these competitive seats, but again, based on what happened 312 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 8: on Saturday, and based on the fact that I think 313 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 8: a lot of people are just sick and tired of 314 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 8: how expensive everything is, and that's really what it's coming 315 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 8: down to. 316 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: I think that we're gonna win. 317 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: For people watching tonight, What kind of preview can you 318 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: give us about what your speech will be like and 319 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: what is that experience do you expect going to be 320 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: like to walk out and have millions of people watching. 321 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 8: Well, when you put it like that, very stressful, no pressure. Yeah, Yeah, 322 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 8: I'm actually going to be talking about something that I've 323 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 8: been talking about for a while, and that you can 324 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 8: have peace through strength, but you don't have to involve 325 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 8: yourselves in every foreign conflict. And I think we need 326 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 8: to understand, and I think President Trump understands us the best. 327 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 8: Really what our military families, our military goes through. I'm 328 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 8: a vet, my husband's a VET. But again, you know, 329 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 8: you walk with the big sick and hopes that you 330 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 8: never have to use it. 331 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 3: If you get to pick right now in advance, one 332 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: piece of legislation by issue, right, I mean, I know 333 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: legislation can be a thousand pages long, but that Donald 334 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: Trump would sign as his crowning legislative achievement along with 335 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: Congress in year one. 336 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: What would it be on? Is it on immigration? Is 337 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: it on that? Securities?

We may get into that a bit, 390 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: but you've been suing the NCAA. I love everything about this. 391 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: It's good to see you in person, but let's start 392 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: here Virginia. You know the state well, big success in 393 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one with Glenn Youngkin getting elected is it 394 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: in play in your mind. What kind of polling are 395 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: you saying, can Trump and now JD Vance really put 396 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: Biden on the proverbial ropes by getting a win or 397 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: even being super competitive in Virginia in about three and 398 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: a half months. 399 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is. 400 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 9: I've seen at least three different polls that have shown 401 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 9: that they are either tied or even Trump is up 402 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 9: slightly in Virginia. And I best can capsulate. I was 403 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 9: at the grocery store, believe it or not, to go 404 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 9: out to parking lot and there's a bumper sticker in 405 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 9: a car that simply said, make groceries affordable again. 406 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: It's good. 407 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 9: And that is literally what we're seeing, not just in 408 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 9: Virginia but nationwide. It's hard to live under Joe Biden's 409 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 9: Joe Biden's America. And I actually looked this up this morning. 410 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 9: If you look at what is since Joe Biden's taken office, 411 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 9: I'm gonna read these numbers for your audience. Groceries up 412 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 9: twenty one percent, dining out up twenty one percent, the 413 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 9: cost of baby food thirty percent, pet food twenty two percent, 414 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 9: rent twenty percent, electricity close to thirty natural gas thirty 415 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 9: use cars. The cost of used cars up over twenty percent, 416 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 9: air for a thirty percent real average weekly rages down 417 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 9: negative four percent. So you're making less take home pay 418 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 9: because you have the inflation, as President Reagan said, is 419 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 9: a tax on the poor. It's hard to live again. 420 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 9: So that is impacting Virginia. I talked to somebody at 421 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 9: the Trump campaign literally last night who said, believe it 422 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 9: or not, New Jersey is now getting into play. And 423 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 9: so what you've seen is every day the forgotten man, 424 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 9: as they say, the people that get up every day, 425 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 9: they go to work, they try to play by the rules, 426 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 9: and every day they see it is harder to live 427 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 9: under Joe Biden. 428 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: And when you. 429 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 9: Spend money like Argentina, you're going to get inflation. Like Argentine, 430 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 9: Argentina actually wised up and elected a new president. But 431 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 9: I think that's why Virginia's a play and you're seeing 432 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 9: a certain level of energy and really a sense of 433 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 9: we have weakness abroad, weakness at home. We need a change, 434 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 9: and so I think Virginia's going to come down to 435 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 9: the wire. 436 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: What are some of the successful moves that Governor Youngkin 437 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 3: has done in your state to help put us in 438 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: this position where we can have a entirely serious conversation 439 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 3: about Virginia being some being a state that Donald Trump 440 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: could win, when if you go back not very far, 441 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: it felt more and more to people like it was 442 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: going purpose to glue. 443 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: So it's going to the other direction. How to govern? Youngkin? 444 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: And you as State of Trade General, Well, how'd you 445 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: get a going there? 446 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 9: Well, you know, I called the Virginia Renaissance. We took 447 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 9: over he at a far left liberal monopoly, and Virginia 448 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 9: was an example of what happens when the left gets control. 449 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 9: They got power for only two years. They had a 450 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 9: criminal first victim last mindset. We had a murder rate 451 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 9: that was at the time a twenty year high. We 452 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 9: were struggling economically. Governor Younkin came in a record investment 453 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 9: in law enforcement. Who's could stand with police in set 454 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 9: of against it. He gave over five billion dollars in 455 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 9: tax relief. Virginia just got named the best state in 456 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 9: the country to do business, and a lot of that 457 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 9: is what Governor Younkin has done. Where he says we're 458 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 9: going to be open for business, we're actually going to 459 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 9: unleash the greatest job creating engine the world has ever seen, 460 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 9: which is the American entrepreneur. And so I think as 461 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 9: a result that is trickled down to Virginians and Governor 462 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 9: Yunkin has fantastic approval ratings in Virginia. Virginian see that 463 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 9: and they think, wow, you're right. Republican governance works. Yeah, 464 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 9: And I think that has actually had an impact this 465 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 9: year as well. 466 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: You know the state of Virginia. Well, for people out 467 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: there who haven't spent time in Virginia, you got northern 468 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: Virginia right where crafts try to run up the margin, right, 469 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: and then you have basically the rest of Virginia, which 470 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: is a very different state, right the Washington suburbs compared 471 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: to the rest of. 472 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: Northern Virginia is southern DC. Basically, So what does a map? 473 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: What does the map look like if you're you know, 474 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: thinking out three and a half months, you drive down, 475 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: I would imagine the margin in northern Virginia. But how 476 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: many people out there when you guys won, where did 477 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: you look at and say this is the region where 478 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: you can kind of get the bell weather since for 479 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: how Virginia. 480 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 9: Okay, so a couple key key areas not to get 481 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 9: all political science professor on you. But yeah, in northern Virginia, 482 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 9: you want to get between forty to forty two percent 483 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 9: of the vote because down ballot you're downstate, you're going 484 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 9: to win huge margins. You're gonna want to get over 485 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 9: seventy percent of the vote. In southwest Virginia, right there, 486 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 9: right near the East Tennessee where I grew up, you 487 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 9: get the Shenandoah Valley, deep deep Bread, south side of Virginia, 488 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 9: deep deep Bread, the Q the Q key areas are 489 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 9: going to be the areas of the Richmond suburbs, Chesterfield 490 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 9: and Reicho, Hannover are going to be Key. And then 491 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 9: my home area where I grew up in Virginia, Beach 492 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 9: Norfolk has the highest concentration of activeduty military of any 493 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 9: metropolitan area in the country. 494 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: So very very patriotic. A lot of clan Buck listeners 495 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: are just. 496 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 9: Something right, no clam a big fan and every time 497 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 9: I'm on. You know, I got some high school friends 498 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 9: that always text me as soon as I'm off, so 499 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 9: I expect to hear from them. So in the Hampton 500 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 9: Roads area, they are big clam Buck fans and they're 501 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 9: a big patriotic area as well. And so Hampton Roads 502 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 9: is they called the swing area of a swing state. 503 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 9: And I got to tell you, you get around in 504 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 9: that area, you see a lot of Trump flags, a 505 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 9: lot of Trump flotillas, and a lot of Trump yard 506 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 9: signs popping up everywhere. So I think it's gonna be key. 507 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 9: That's where it's gonna be fought out. 508 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: You're a buck has found this out and he sees 509 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: it everywhere all over the R and C. I trust 510 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: college football fans more than like normal people, right, So. 511 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: Like he belongs to a secret society. 512 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And people will come up to me and you know, 513 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: they'll talk about whatever's going on with the RNC, but 514 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: they really want to dive in and say, hey, what 515 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: about the Big ten expanding? 516 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: What about the SEC? 517 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: As a kid growing up, what was your favorite part 518 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: of University of Tennessee football and SEC football at large? 519 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: And do you trust like me college football fans more 520 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: just innately, no matter who they root for than anybody else. 521 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 9: There's a sense of passion and culture that comes with 522 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 9: the college football and it's it is multi generational, that's right. 523 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 9: I can still remember as a kid growing up seeing 524 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 9: you know, Reggie White playing and those heroes in the eighties. 525 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 9: I remember the sugar ball win against Miami thirty five 526 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 9: to ten, and the next day at school, everybody was 527 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 9: wearing the how sweet as is. 528 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 2: You're going to be upset with you. 529 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: But we had Lee Greenwood who's saying, God bless the 530 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: USA right there at halftime, and my dad was in 531 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 1: that crowd. 532 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: Are you serious? And I was TV. 533 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: I was watching it on TV too, But he says 534 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: that's one of his favorite sports moments of his life. 535 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 2: Magical. 536 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 9: I'm so old school that for me, it's weird that 537 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 9: Arkansas's in the SEC right, remember when they expanded ninety 538 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 9: two ninety two. So, but what you have with college football, 539 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 9: and this is what I think people, it is one 540 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 9: of the last true meritocracy we've seen in American society 541 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 9: is football, particularly, I think at the collegiate level. It 542 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 9: is the idea that we don't care what your background is. 543 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 9: You have to earn it. Yep, no one's gonna give 544 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 9: it to you. And as a Tennessee fan, I have 545 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 9: a begrudging respect for Nick Saban, But that Nick Saban 546 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 9: speech he gave it the ASP's I think was encapsulated 547 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 9: college football at it's the best the idea of Also, 548 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 9: it's teamwork. You cannot be successful as a team just 549 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 9: being great individually. You could be the best running back 550 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 9: in the world. You don't have a good O line, 551 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 9: you're not gonna go anywhere. And so it is great 552 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 9: to see that. And then the generations. The fact that 553 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 9: Arch Manning's son then became Peyton Manning, who then replaced 554 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 9: him and his father's even a bigger icon. Those moments 555 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 9: in college football you can't replace, and so it's special. 556 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 9: You talk to Georgia fans, they still talk about herschel 557 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 9: Walker yep, and some of the runs that he did. 558 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 9: And so that's the kind of multi generational legacies. It 559 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 9: brings families together. I'm sure you know this. You go 560 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 9: to a college football game, it is a family adding 561 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 9: And somebody asked me this earlier on the radio show 562 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 9: this morning. They asked me, what's it like at the convention? 563 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 9: And I said, joy? And isn't that college sports too? 564 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 9: It's joy. It is a lot agony, but gosh, there's 565 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 9: such joy when you win. Uh, it was, It's amazing. 566 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: I think, which college game should I make Clay take 567 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: me to this year? 568 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 9: Tennessee Alabama in Knoxville and Knoxville. This year, Ribs and 569 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 9: Tied are in trouble. 570 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: They're losing. WHOA, They're gonna lost in some I've. 571 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: Been on already on this Alabama's going down in Knoxville 572 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: two out of three. 573 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: Zeban Ara is over, Caitlin de Boord's recruiting. Well. 574 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: SEC media days are going on right now. Buck was like, 575 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know right that place. Who's in the 576 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: Who's in the SEC title game? 577 00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: Then? 578 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: Did you see say been picked Georgia and Texas. He 579 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: didn't even pick his own team. I think it will 580 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: be Georgia and Tennessee. Okay, keeping my fingers crossed. That 581 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: would be amazing. Look, we got coming up next here. 582 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: You were just talking about getting to meet him.

As a guy who grew up out there, 676 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, it was. 677 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 11: A subtle It's the change always comes very subtly, and 678 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 11: I would I would hear that going on and on. 679 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 11: You know, when you when you first become you know, 680 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 11: a television star back in the day anyway, and probably 681 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 11: still the same now as you got you get a publicist, 682 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 11: and your publicist, like you have to have a charity 683 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 11: that you support and you have to have. And I 684 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 11: was like, look, I'm twenty five. 685 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: You know. 686 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 11: My charity was pay my rent. And I was like, 687 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 11: what do I have to support things? Can that happen organically? 688 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: Please? You know? 689 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 11: But no, they were like, they break it down for you. 690 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 11: So I think it I just I guess maybe it 691 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 11: was me getting older. When I had a kid. I mean, 692 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 11: when I had a kid, everything the whole world changed 693 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 11: for me because suddenly I wasn't the most important thing 694 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 11: in the world. And I changed everything. But I changed 695 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 11: the movies, I did, the TV shows, I did. Everything changed, 696 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 11: and I became a father. There's the reason I stopped 697 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 11: doing a series is because I wanted to be a dad, 698 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 11: so I might my values were changing at the same 699 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 11: time that these things were sort of sneaking in there. 700 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 11: And I, you know, obviously COVID, we you know, it 701 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 11: was was a huge part of it, but it was 702 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 11: happening before COVID. It's been happening for a long time. 703 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 11: And I realized that, I you know, when it started, 704 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 11: the the the anti police sort of movement started going. 705 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 11: Everytime I'm a deputy, I'm a sworn deputy, sheriff with 706 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 11: with your last guest, I serve in Virginia. 707 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: I served for him. That's fantastic, one hundred percent. 708 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 11: So I'm a fully sworn a deputy sheriff in in 709 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 11: Frederick County, Virginia. I'm I'm a reserve police officer in Pocatello. 710 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 11: I don't these are the values that I felt were right. 711 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 11: So when people did the opposite and it started going 712 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 11: to you know, anti police, writer can defund the police, 713 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 11: I said, you know what I spoke up against that. 714 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: They're like, well, you speak up agains, what is that? S? 715 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 2: All right? 716 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 11: Then I'll join and I have and I've been doing that. 717 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 11: So that's just sort of built in my character. But 718 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 11: I've watched it happen. I mean, it's it's accelerating now, 719 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 11: like crazy. Yeah, but but I think there's been a 720 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 11: backlash and the pendulum is swinging back. 721 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 2: You know, go woke, go broke. 722 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 11: Is look at the shows and things were put you know, 723 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 11: Hollywood's putting out it's just not you know, that Star 724 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 11: Wars thing isn't doing so well right now, and that 725 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 11: thing is just getting you eviscerated. I don't even want 726 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 11: to watch it. 727 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: But this is this is what's happening all over the place. 728 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 3: I was wondering, how tell everybody a little bit about 729 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 3: the film, because we've only got you for about another minute. Okay, 730 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 3: sure I was. I was gonna ask you something else 731 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 3: about politics, but actually I was talking about. 732 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 11: See the Gods said. That is the fifth and the franchise. 733 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 11: The first one, God's Not Dead, was ten years ago, 734 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 11: and I played a bad guy in that one, guy 735 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 11: who didn't have any redemptive qualities, but much like myself. 736 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: You know, you played anist. Yeah, yeah, well he wasn't 737 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 2: a communist. He was a capitalist. 738 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 11: And then some oh really okay, and then some but 739 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 11: he is you know, his fiance tells him, you know, 740 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 11: I've got cancer, and he's like, if you can work 741 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 11: that out, then you can come back, you know. 742 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 2: But that's not my problem to deal with. He's that 743 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: kind of a guy. And then they've done. 744 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 11: Four other or three other professor of yes, right, he 745 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 11: doesn't survive it anyway, spoiler alert. Yet my character comes 746 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 11: back in this fifth one. It's called God's Not Dead 747 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 11: in God We Trust and and it's it's about a 748 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 11: pastor who ends up having to run for a congressional seat. 749 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 11: And then it's the question about you know, uh, the 750 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 11: separation of church and state, and where does God belong 751 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 11: in in in politics and in our lives. You know, 752 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 11: they're they're pushing God. I mean, God's not mentioned in 753 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 11: the Constitution at all, but he is mentioned in and 754 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 11: and the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance on 755 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 11: your money and God we trust, and the founders were 756 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 11: they believed in God, and it was a big part 757 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 11: of it. And so the question is how much this 758 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 11: and I believe with what President's going to Trump, Trump's 759 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 11: going to say tomorrow night that you know, God had 760 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 11: a hand and turning his head. 761 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: And to finish the question, you've done a lot of 762 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: Hollywood show how cinematic and unbelievable was Trump's reaction to 763 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: surviving the assassination attempt. From an actor perspective, we talked 764 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: about it felt like a Hollywood movie. 765 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 11: If you wrote that, they'd be like, that's too unbelievable, 766 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 11: you know, And and so I can't even put it 767 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 11: into words. That's one of the most powerful things I've 768 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 11: ever seen. And it speaks to his character and I, 769 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 11: you know, look at I'm a police officer, I've been 770 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 11: with our military all over the place. People get shot 771 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 11: or shot at, they react very differently. It's like I 772 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 11: was a professional football player before. You know, you get players, 773 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 11: you know, great practice for game time starts and yeah, 774 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 11: something happens to him and other people just rise up. 775 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 2: President Trump rose up. It was one of the most amazing. 776 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 11: Things I've seen in that image of him with his 777 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 11: hand up, the flag upside down behind him and blood 778 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 11: trickling down his face, and that face that he made 779 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 11: the fight that was. 780 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 2: It was a seminal moment.
